Pet care experience
Last Minute Drop-ins!! <3 Seniors!
*I’m looking for more morning walk bookings and later afternoon drop ins :) I’ve had my best friend, Ash, since I was 10. Almost 12, he’s as lively as ever! I had also adopted Dart last year, a 10 year old pointer with anxiety - I have had the privilege of watching him grow and bloom into his instincts and training! I’ve also worked professionally with dogs for over two years and specifically would be tasked to handle dogs with special needs, whether that be behavioural or medical. I can connect with dogs and read them incredibly easy. I’m very patient as well and have no fear when dealing with less trusting or “feistier” dogs. I also understand how busy life can get, especially when unexpected hurdles come your way. I am especially offering services for pet parents who are looking for super last minute help. I’m more than happy to share a more specific version of my availability if you think you’ll need last minute care in the near future. I also especially love senior dogs and can manage their specific health and behavioural needs with ease. :)

Safety, trust & environment
I’m very respectful of others spaces and will be able to recognize and learn the routines of your pup pretty quick! Special instructions are no stranger to me, so ask away!! I want to replicate their regular routine as much as possible to cause the least amount of stress. :) I value and put the time into understanding your pets boundaries and have no qualms with creating a safe, comforting environment through soft tones, words, and actions, and most importantly: patience.
Ratings and reviews
First time using a pet sitter and Shane made the process easy. They were punctual, reliable, kind and a respectful house sitter. Corina was relaxed and happy when we returned. Would hire again.
Every time we talk, Shane has plenty to say about what his two dogs have gotten up to since the last time we chatted. You can tell by the way he talks how much he adores Ash and Dart, and the constant care he pays towards them. There are a precious few people I would trust more to care for my dog more than Shane, so I'm quite confident in saying that your dogs are in plenty good hands.
I’ve known Shane for many years and he’s been an avid dog-lover and dog-owner the entire time. He’s also had previous work experience in a dog daycare, and is in general a very responsible, friendly, and educated person. I have no doubts in his ability as a pet owner and would absolutely recommend him!
